The manager had his "best guy" come out to talk to me about the issues and then he did a full alignment. They let me come out and talk with the tech while he was working. They did not have any way to check bump steer, just ran through the whole alignment again. The tech was telling me that the system they were using isn't the greatest, saying you could get it all dialed in, drive the car around the building and get different numbers. They have a better rack, but my car is too low to fit.

Anyway, he was able to get the rear camber to 1.7 and slight neg toe. Not much he could do with the front, but did have to adjust both sides. Oddly,the right side was much more out than the left. I have a feeling the last tech probably should stick to oil changes and tire rotations. With the new settings, the car feels better. It was just a short 15 mile drive home but I had a chance to take to back roads and have some fun and the car felt better.

I was able to get a good look at the area where the exhaust runs through the rear sway bar. Both side are very close to the bar. Since I don't think the sway bar is the problem, I am going to leave the bar in. I'll get under the car this weekend and adjust the exhaust so that it isn't rubbing on the sway bar.
Yea you really don't want rear neg toe that will cause the rear to want to step out either direction very easily. Probably need to get some of the after market adjustable toe arms. Also depending how low you went spl makes bump steer kits so you can lower you tie rods back to Oem height.
